Hi Randy,
did you try removing/renaming with wildcards? (rmdir _DIVA* ) That helped me sometimes, when a Dir/File was there but not directly accessible.
Do you have access to vFiler0? (I don't think it will work within a vFiler...) Try priv set advanced ; rm ...
Also weird things can happen, if unicode isn't used. I.e. create_unicode and convert_unicode options on the volume.
That's all that comes to my mind right now.
Hi folks,
Another gotcha is upper/lower case. When you create a file or folder with CIFS (Windows) the upper/lower case letters are preserved. So I can create file "Hello.txt" and that is what I see in a folder listing. But CIFS filename lookup is case insensitive, so if I later write to file "hello.txt" (via CIFS) then I actually write to "Hello.txt", instead of creating a new file.
NFS, however, uses case insensitive file names, so with NFS you can create both "hello.txt" and "Hello.txt". When you list the folder contents with CIFS I think that you see both files. However, you can only access ONE of them because the case insensitive search quits at the first hit. Even if you point and click, that ultimately becomes a case insensitive directory search that may find something other than what you clicked. Spooky.
